Abstract
Following the report of optical brightening of the Galactic black hole X-ray transient GX 339-4 (ATel #10797), we requested Swift follow-up of the source. The X-Ray Telescope (XRT; Burrows et al. 2005 SSRv 120 165) data products from the automated pipeline (Evans et al. 2009 MNRAS 397 1177) show the source to be clearly detected.
